Abstract
A video editing apparatus for editing electronic motion video image data utilizes an effect setting table that specifies mapping of editing effect names arbitrarily registered by the user to editing effects or screen effects, for example, transition effects between different scenes or successive video clips and insertion of captions and subtitles, executable by the video editing apparatus. In editing management data that specify a flow of a program, editing effects to be applied in respective video clip data are set indirectly by specifying the editing effect names registered in the effect setting table. Varying the mapping of the editing effect names to the editing effects enables a desired editing effect corresponding to a certain editing effect name to be collectively changed without modifying the editing management data. This arrangement desirably relieves the labor in the process of setting the editing effects and improves the certainty.
